The Michigan Backbone is finally set to restart his NFL journey! The talented head coach Jim Harbaugh previously worked as a head coach for the San Francisco 49ers. As per recent reports, the elite head coach is set to embark on the NFL journey again after reigning in the NCAA world. But this time, the deal appears to be with the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Chargers interviewed around 15 head coaches. But Harbaugh appeared to be their top choice. The primary reason behind this could be the head coach’s shocking records whenever he mentors aside.

As per reporter Adam Schefter, after much speculation, Harbaugh will kick-start his career once more in the National Football League as a head coach with the Chargers. The post reads,BREAKING: Jim Harbaugh is leaving Michigan to accept the Charger’s head coaching job, per @Adam Schefter.” Moreover, per some reports, the head coach has been provided with around $90 million in contracts. This decision came into the limelight yesterday as the Chargers were hunting to fill the vacant spot of a head coach that Bradon Stanley ruled until then.

Stanley, known for his extensive coaching methods, failed to attain a playoff spot with a score of 5-12. After his devastating loss to the Jaguars last year, where his team blew a 27-point lead in the wild-card game, he had entered the notice period for the 2023 season. His tenure with the Chargers came to an end following a crushing 63-21 defeat against the Raiders in Week 15.
